Missing Dog now Found ! Good news! Pip was found this afternoon near the Football ground, Torrox by good Samaritans and returned to his owner. For a dog with dodgy legs he went a long way! Michele

Thank You All A big thank you to all who took the time to reply to my request for information on residency last week. As you can probably image there were lots of replies and just as many different opinions as to how to proceed.
We have decided to go to our gestor and let them trail through this particular mine field. Again thank you to all who replied. Janet

What’s on Tourist Train in Velez Malaga by Cruz Roja (Red Cross).Please find attached details of the tourist train in Velez-Malaga for English speakers on Friday 20 October. There are still some places available so I hope that you may be interested in attending yourself or know other people who may like to attend. This activity is being organised by the Red Cross for English-speakers with guides/commentary in English and all people over 50 are welcome but places are limited and need to be booked with me by email in advance. The tour starts at 10:00 and lasts for3 hours until 13:00 and is FREE! This is a really good opportunity to see the historic sites in Vélez-Málaga.The address/details are:- https://www.google.es/maps/@36.775761,-4.0997167,19z The train leaves from the bus stop outside Bar Antonia & Bar Cachele on Avenida Vivar Tellez. The nearest landmarks on the same side are the Cuartel de la Guardia Civil (55 Avenida Vivar Tellez) and the Mercado Municipal and opposite is the Parque Jurado Lorca. I do not know the area myself so I am not sure about parking. If anyone struggles with mobility and you arrive early enough you should be able to drop people off in the bus stop who can then wait in one of the two bars that are adjacent while somebody else parks the car. Please remember that it is essential for each person to bring a copy (not the original) of their ID Passport/NIE. Please can you distribute to everyone you know and ask them to do the same so that as many people as possible are made aware of the activity? I hope that this is the first of a number of Red Cross activities for English-speaking foreign residents and so I want it to be a success. If this trip is oversubscribed we will organise another one.
